In an increasingly globalized world, an important component of international human resource management in multinational companies (MNCs) is the expatriation of employees to foreign countries. In line with this global trend, a stream ofacademic literature has evolved since the 1980s (Mendenhall & Oddou, 1985), making research on expatriates an importantarea of research in the international business (IB) domain. A bulk of this research has focused on three cross-cultural adjustment facets (i.e., general-, interaction-, and work adjustment), showing that well-adjusted expatriates are both effectiveand have low turnover intentions (see Bhaskar-Shrinivas, Harrison, Shaffer, & Luk, 2005; Black, Mendenhall & Oddou, 1991;Hechanova, Beehr, & Christiansen, 2003 for literature reviews).
